WHAT IS A POSTER?

A poster is an excellent way to summarize your research (e.g., dissertation research, preliminary data) single case studies or present a conceptual model or innovative interventions in therapy.

WHAT DOES A POSTER LOOK LIKE?

Key information (brief paragraphs, bulleted outlines, diagrams, tables, graphs) is posted on a bulletin board, typically in large print (to make it easier to read). Posters can either be printed on a single, large sheet of paper, or separate sheets of paper.  Fed Ex, or other similar businesses, can usually print posters (from a PowerPoint file) for a reasonable cost.

WHAT DOES THE PRESENTER DO AT A CONFERENCE?

Presenters typically stand by their posters at the designated times to answer questions and engage in a dialogue with other professionals.  Presenters will not be standing by their posters during workshop/breakout sessions.  Presenters often provide handout summaries to interested Conference attendees. Posters will be displayed for the entire day of the Conference.  This is an excellent networking opportunity.
